I read a website saying that Double Predestination means that God is working just as much in the hearts of the Reprobate to prevent them from being saved as in the Elect to save them. This is wrong. Double Predestination means that God reprobates one vessel of people for dishonorable use and elects another vessel of people for honorable use. Then in a truly Supralapsarianist understanding God decreed to allow the fall to occur. The cause of the rejection is not Man's sin, but the cause of the condemnation is sin. So Bob is rejected as an heir of Grace, but when Bob falls into sin he does so willfully and he is also condemned. It is a false assertion to say God works into the heart sin. For God does not have to work in the heart of the reprobate what is already there from the fall. But, God works in the hearts of the elect so that they will believe. It is not a question of whether or not they will, they WILL by God's choice.
